PRECIOUS METALS STREAMING
HOW IT WORKS
How Streaming Works
Wheaton makes an upfront
payment and in return we
purchase a fixed percentage
of the future silver and/or gold
production from a mine at a
predetermined price
Wheaton shares value differential with its partners resulting in a win-win model
Why Streaming Works
The market values precious
metal in a streaming company
greater than precious metal
produced by a traditional
miner

COMPANY ACQUISITION HISTORY
Timeline Since Inception20
1. Subject to an annual inflationary adjustment with the exception of Loma de La Plata and Sudbury.
2. Should the prevailing market price for silver or gold be lower than this amount, the per ounce cash payment will be reduced to the prevailing market price, with the exception of Yauliyacu where the per ounce cash payment
will not be reduced below $4.24 per ounce, subject to an annual inflationary factor.
3. In October 2015, in order to incentivize additional exploration and potentially extend the limited remaining mine life of Stratoni, Wheaton Precious Metals and Eldorado Gold agreed to modify the Stratoni silver purchase
agreement. The primary modification is to increase the production price per ounce of silver delivered to Wheaton Precious Metals over the current fixed price by one of the following amounts: (i) $2.50 per ounce of silver
delivered if 10,000 meters of drilling is completed outside of the existing ore body and within Wheaton Precious Metals' defined area of interest (“Expansion Drilling”); (ii) $5.00 per ounce of silver delivered if 20,000 meters
of Expansion Drilling is completed; and (iii) $7.00 per ounce of silver delivered if 30,000 meters of Expansion Drilling is completed. Drilling in all three cases must be completed by December 31, 2020, in order for the
agreed upon increase in production price to be initiated.
4. In March 2017, the Company amended its silver purchase agreement with Alexco Resource Corp. (“Alexco”) to make the production payment a function of the silver head grade and silver spot price in the month in which
the silver is produced. In addition, the area of interest was expanded to include properties currently owned by Alexco and properties acquired by Alexco in the future which fall within a one kilometer radius of existing Alexco
holdings in the Keno Hill Silver District. As consideration of the amendments, Alexco issued 3,000,000 shares to Wheaton Precious Metals.
5. Wheaton Precious Metals only has the rights to silver contained in concentrate containing less than 15% copper at the Aljustrel mine.
6. Comprised of $11 million allocated to the silver interest upon the Company’s acquisition of Silverstone Resources Corp. in addition to a contingent liability of $32 million, payable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including Pan American receiving all necessary permits to proceed with the mine construction.
7. Definitive terms of the agreement to be finalized.
8. Wheaton Precious Metals' attributable silver production is subject to a maximum of 8% of the silver contained in the ore processed at Veladero during the period.
9. The upfront consideration is currently reflected as a contingent obligation, payable on an installment basis to partially fund construction of the Rosemont mine once certain milestones are achieved, including the receipt of
key permits and securing the necessary financing to complete construction of the mine.
10.Gold recoveries will be set at 55% for the Constancia deposit and 70% for the Pampacancha deposit until 265,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to the Company. Should there be a delay in achieving completion or
mining the Pampacancha deposit beyond the end of 2018, Wheaton Precious Metals would be entitled to additional compensation in respect of the gold stream.
11.Subject to an increase to $9.90 per ounce of silver and $550 per ounce of gold after the initial 40 year term.
12.Vale has completed the expansion of the mill throughput capacity at the Salobo mine to 24 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”) from its previous 12 Mtpa. If actual throughput is expanded above 28 Mtpa within a
predetermined period, and depending on the grade of material processed, Wheaton Precious Metals will be required to make an additional payment to Vale based on a set fee schedule ranging from $113 million if
throughput is expanded beyond 28 Mtpa by January 1, 2036, up to $953 million if throughput is expanded beyond 40 Mtpa by January 1, 2021.
13.Upfront payment consisted of $800mil cash & the amendment of the 10mil Wheaton Precious Metals common share purchase warrants previously issued to Vale in connection with the Sudbury precious metal purchase
agreement which expire on Feb. 28, 2023 to reduce the strike price from $65 to $43.75 per common share. The amendment to these warrants was valued at $29 million using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
14.Upfront payment consisted of $570 million cash plus 10 million Wheaton Precious Metals common share purchase warrants with a $65 strike and 10 year term.
15.Comprised of $16 million paid to date and $138 million to be payable on an installment basis to partially fund construction of the mine. Following the delivery of certain feasibility documentation or after December 31, 2017 if
the feasibility documentation has not been delivered to Wheaton Precious Metals by such date, Wheaton Precious Metals may elect not to proceed with the agreement or not pay the balance of the upfront consideration
and reduce the gold stream percentage from 10% to 0.909% and the silver stream percentage from 50% to nil. If Wheaton Precious Metals elects to terminate, Wheaton Precious Metals will be entitled to a return of the
amounts advanced less $2 million which is non-refundable on the occurrence of certain events. If Wheaton Precious Metals elects to reduce the streams, Sandspring Resources Ltd. (“Sandspring”) may return the amount
of the deposit already advanced less $2 million to Wheaton Precious Metals and terminate the agreement.
16.Glencore owns 33.75% of the Antamina mine through a joint venture. Wheaton Precious Metals is entitled to Gelncore’s portion of the silver production.
17.Once the Company has received 140 million ounces of silver under the Antamina agreement, the Company’s attributable silver production to be purchased will be reduced to 22.5%.
18.Comprised of $4.75 million paid to date, $9.25 million which is payable on an installment basis spread out over a period of up to eight years and $126 million payable on an installment basis to partially fund construction of
the mine once certain conditions have been satisfied.
19.Once 90 million silver equivalent ounces attributable to Wheaton Precious Metals have been produced, the attributable production to be purchased will decrease to 66.67% of silver & 16.67% of gold production for the life
of mine.

a. Peñasquito - Goldcorp annual information form filed on March 16, 2017; and
b. San Dimas - Primero annual information form filed on March 31, 2017.
11. The San Dimas silver purchase agreement provides that Primero will deliver to the Company a per annum amount equal to the first 6.0 million ounces of payable silver produced at the San Dimas mine and 50%
of any excess, for the life of mine.
12. The Company’s attributable Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves for the Lagunas Norte, Veladero, Cozamin, and Antamina silver interests, in addition to the Sudbury gold interests, have been constrained
to the production expected for the various contracts.
13. The Antamina Silver Purchase Agreement in respect to the Antamina mine (November 3, 2015) provides that Glencore will deliver 33.75% of the silver production until 140 million ounces are delivered and
22.5% of silver production thereafter, for a 50 year term that can be extended in increments of 10 years at the Company’s discretion. Attributable reserves and resources have been calculated on the 33.75% /
22.5% basis.
14. The Yauliyacu silver purchase agreement provides that Glencore will deliver to the Company a per annum amount equal to the first 1.5 million ounces of payable silver produced at the Yauliyacu mine and 50%
of any excess for the life of the mine.
15. The Rosemont mine Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves do not include the Oxide material.
16. The Company only has the rights to silver contained in concentrates containing less than 15% copper at the Aljustrel mine.
17. Under the terms of the Cotabambas Early Deposit Agreement, the Company will be entitled to purchase 100% of the silver production and 25% of the gold production from the Cotabambas project until 90
million silver equivalent ounces attributable to the Company have been delivered, at which point the stream will drop to 66.67% of silver production and 16.67% of gold production for the life of mine.
18. The Company’s agreement with Sandspring is an early deposit structure whereby the Company will have the option not to proceed with the 10% gold stream and 50% silver stream on the Toroparu project
following the delivery of a bankable definitive feasibility study.
19. Effective August 7, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement for a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty on Chesapeake Gold Corp’s (Chesapeake) Metates property, located in Mexico. As part of the
agreement, Chesapeake will have the right at any time for a period of five years to repurchase two-thirds of the royalty, with the Company retaining a 0.5% royalty interest.
20. Silver and gold subject to the precious metal purchase agreements are produced as by-product metal at all operations with the exception of silver at the Keno Hill mines and Loma de La Plata project and gold at
the Toroparu project; therefore, the economic cut-off applied to the reporting of silver and gold Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves will be influenced by changes in the commodity prices of other metals at
the time of reporting.

2. CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS REGARDING PRESENTATION OF MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE
ESTIMATES: The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ
from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian
mining terms defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian
Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves,
44. 44
END NOTES
2. (cont.) adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the “CIM Standards”). These definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide
7”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”). Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve”
unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve
determination is made. Also, under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year
historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with
the appropriate governmental authority. In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred
mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are
normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the
mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence
and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher
category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases.
Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Mineral resources that
are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian
regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage
and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information contained herein that describes the Company’s mineral deposits may not be
comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities
laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. United States investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in the Annual Information Form, a copy of
which is available at www.sec.gov.
3. Capex is defined as the capital expenditure estimate by the partner mining company for the mine construction or expansion at the time the stream agreement

END NOTES
22. For the 2005-2010 taxation years, transfer pricing penalties of Cdn$72 million and interest and other penalties of Cdn$81 million were also assessed by the
CRA. The total reassessment issued on September 24, 2015 was Cdn$353 million. Additional interest accruing to December 31, 2016 on the total amount
reassessed is estimated at Cdn$24 million for the 2005-2010 taxation years.
23. As a consequence of the CRA’s reassessment of the 2005-2010 taxation years, CRA has denied non-capital losses of US$12 million and US$14 million that
the Company had carried forward and applied to the 2011 and 2012 taxation years, respectively. Accordingly, the Company has carried back non-capital
losses from subsequent taxation years to eliminate the taxable income in the 2011 and 2012 taxation years. However, interest and penalties of US$1.3
million remained owing, 50% of which has been paid as the Company filed Notices of Objection with respect to the reassessments of the 2011 and 2012
taxation years. The reassessments do not relate to the CRA international audit of the 2011-2013 taxation years.
24. Estimates of interest given as of the date stated. Interest accrues until payment date.
25. For precious metal purchase agreements with upfront payments paid in the form of a deposit, the estimates of income inclusion and tax payable are based on
the cost of precious metal acquired under such precious metal purchase agreements being equal to the market value of such precious metal.
26. If CRA were to reassess the 2011-2013 taxation years and continue to apply transfer pricing penalties, management estimates that transfer pricing penalties
of approximately $120 million and interest (calculated to December 31, 2016) and other penalties of approximately $81 million may be applicable for the 2011-
2013 taxation years.
27. If CRA were to reassess the 2014-2016 taxation years and continue to apply transfer pricing penalties, management estimates that transfer pricing penalties
of approximately $55 million and interest (calculated to December 31, 2016) and other penalties of approximately $14 million may be applicable for the 2014-
2016 taxation years.

NON-IFRS MEASURES
Wheaton Precious Metals has included, throughout this document, certain non-IFRS performance measures, including (i) adjusted net
earnings and adjusted net earnings per share; (ii) operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted); (iii) average cash costs of silver and
gold on a per ounce basis and; (iv) cash operating margin.
i. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are calculated by removing the effects of the non-cash
impairment charges. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS,
management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance.
ii. Operating cash flow per share (basic and diluted) is calculated by dividing cash generated by operating activities by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding (basic and diluted). The Company presents operating cash flow per share
as management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other
companies in the precious metal mining industry who present results on a similar basis.
iii. Average cash cost of silver and gold on a per ounce basis is calculated by dividing the total cost of sales, less depletion, by
the ounces sold. In the precious metal mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not have any
standardized meaning. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain
investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow.
iv. Cash operating margin is calculated by subtracting the average cash cost of silver and gold on a per ounce basis from the
average realized selling price of silver and gold on a per ounce basis. The Company presents cash operating margin as
management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other
companies in the precious metal mining industry who present results on a similar basis.
These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these
measures differently. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. For more detailed information,
please refer to Wheaton Precious Metals' Management Discussion and Analysis available on the Company’s website at
www.silverwheaton.com and posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
